May 21, 20255 star hotel but not service!
My partner and I have just returned from a two week stay at Akumal. Having stayed in a Bahía Príncipe Hotel elsewhere, we had big expectations. The hotel itself is beautiful, we stayed in the adults only section (however we didn’t request this area on booking but were more than happy with the allocation!) The room was clean, a good size and had everything you needed, however very dated. Building work was happening when we were there but didn’t really affect us, other than a bit of noise throughout the day. We were able to book restaurants across the other hotels, although quite tricky to get booked in - we booked all on the app before we arrived - the only bad experience and wouldn’t advise booking is the Mexican restaurant - tequila - it’s a buffet style restaurant and you can get similar on the hotel buffet every night. Our favourite meals were at Katok (steak restaurant @ akumal) and Maiko (Japenese @ Sian Khan) - amazing!! One thing I would say about the service in all the restaurants and buffet as well as the bars - it definitely isn’t 5 star service! There was no urgency to great guests or even acknowledge them, take orders, very little service with a smile, you’ll get served, eventually! The entertainment team as well as concierge, bell boys, trolley drivers and the guest services staff however were brilliant. A special mention to Maria and Adriana, pool servers, they were absolutely brilliant, couldn’t do anymore for us, always chatty and smiling. There was a fire at the sister hotel, Coba during our stay. We are very aware this couldn’t be helped but it meant coba guests could then use our hotel and facilities, which changed the feel of the hotel completely! With akumal being a luxury hotel, we paid more than the other hotels for our holiday, yet coba guests who had paid less then got to use our hotel which then made the queues for the buffet ridiculously long, the hotel and pool very busy and completely different clientele than before the fire. When speaking to coba guests they mentioned their pool was still open and an unaffected area had been made into a buffet restaurant so I’m unsure why our hotel was then inundated with coba guests. A shame really as it changed our holiday completely after that.

Beach front wedding
This is our 2 time going to bahia. We stayed at akumal and loved it. the first time I got to witness a wedding and wanted mine there. So I planned it this time around. Everyone there is very welcoming. Noami was our wedding coordinator and did an amazing job at making my dream come true. We got J.J studios for our photos and video. Joel and Emilio where amazing and captured every moment. If your dream is to have a beach front wedding i would definitely recommend Bahia-Principe Akumal

Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal 2025
Our five-night stay at Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal in May 2025 provided a welcome opportunity for relaxation. We were pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of Cancun airport, navigating customs and baggage claim in under 20 minutes. Destino Riviera's private shuttle service was a standout. Jaime's excellent communication from booking to our return, coupled with a welcoming driver and cold beverages, made for a smooth transfer. The 70-minute drive was comfortable, though the early departure time for our airport transfer was a slight inconvenience. Airport security was also quick. The online check-in process, completed ten days prior, streamlined our arrival at the resort. We were greeted with refreshing champagne and a cold towel, and our requested Junior Suite Ocean View Superior in Villa 66 (first floor, oceanfront, near the adults-only pool) was ready. The trolley ride to our room offered a glimpse of local wildlife, which was a nice touch. Our room was well-maintained by housekeeping, and the consistently stocked mini-bar was appreciated. Bringing our Roku allowed for easy TV viewing. One of the major advantages of this resort is access to the restaurants across all four Bahia properties. While this offers great variety, the dinner reservation system via the app was a point of frustration. Despite early attempts, many restaurants were fully booked, leaving us with later dining times and not our first option for dinner. However, we did enjoy our meals at Thali, Tequila, Maiko, La Gran Tortuga, and Frutos Del Mar (the latter two being our favorites for food and service). Welcome drinks were a nice touch at select restaurants. Tequila's buffet format was unexpected given the reservation requirement. The Coffee Shop was a daily highlight, thanks to the friendly staff and excellent coffee options. Breakfast at the main buffet was satisfactory, contrasting with a less impressive experience at the adults-only Katok, which seemed to be winding down. Lunch options were adequate, with the main buffet offering a good selection. The snack bar also provided variety, with both buffet and made-to-order choices. Navigating the expansive resort was made easy by the frequent golf cart trolleys. While designated meeting points exist, drivers were generally proactive in offering rides. The beach was a major draw, perfect for long walks. While some areas experienced sargassum with an odor, it wasn't overwhelming. We enjoyed swimming and snorkeling, and the adults-only pool provided a quieter alternative, though we preferred the ocean. Our couples massage was a relaxing experience, though we felt somewhat rushed at the end. The gym offered a good range of equipment. Our off-resort snorkeling excursion with Friendly Turtle Paradise to Akumal Bay was a highlight, providing an amazing opportunity to see turtles in their natural habitat for a reasonable price. Check-out was efficient and hassle-free. Overall, Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal offers a wide range of amenities and experiences, though the dinner reservation system could be improved.

Great Fun at Bahia Principe Akumal!
We just got back from Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal and had such a great experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really made the trip special. The overall vibe was relaxed and enjoyable, even with some renovations going on. Huge shoutout to Javier from the entertainment team — he was fantastic! Cesar, Abigail, and Gretelle were awesome too, and the bingo games were so much fun! The sports bar staff were amazing as well, always remembering our orders and making us feel like VIPs - thank you so much!!! The food was pretty good, and the shuttle service was super reliable for getting around. The beach was okay — typical for that area, not the widest or most impressive, but it didn’t take away from the trip. All in all, a wonderful stay that I’d definitely recommend!
